?As a manufacturer of PTZ cameras we have seen a growing concern from
architects and consultants over the aesthetics of electronics placed
in conference rooms and meeting places,? explained President and CEO
of Vaddio, Rob Sheeley. ?As flat screen technologies have made
displays easier to install and blend into a wall, PTZ cameras are
still being surface-mounted and as a result protrude out into the
room. The Vaddio REVEAL IN-Wall camera systems are designed to install
the camera into the wall and have the same aesthetics as a flat screen
display.?

REVEAL IN-Wall cameras are Vaddio?s first architectural integrated PTZ
cameras that allow the camera to blend into the wall of any
sophisticated videoconferencing or presentation environment. The
aesthetics of the camera?s design match large flat screen televisions,
rear projection screens and other high-end video equipment. The camera
box uses the depth of the wall cavity to recess the camera into the
wall eliminating the camera?s extension into the room providing an
attractive, finished look to the installation.

There are two options for the camera glass: either clear or electro-
chromatic. The electro-chromatic glass turns opaque and mutes video
when the camera is turned off or by RS-232 command. The REVEAL IN-Wall
cameras come in three different system options including HD-18 Short
Range (SR), HD-18 CCU or HD-18 DVI/HDMI. All systems are built around
the ClearVIEW HD-18 high definition pan/tilt/zoom camera, with a 1/3-
inch, 1.3 megapixel CCD imaging sensor, a glass multi-element wide
dynamic zoom lens (18x optical), a tally light and 1.8-lux rating,
providing superior images in a wide range of high definition video
applications.

REVEAL HD-18 SR uses Vaddio?s Quick Connect Short Range allowing
power, video and control to be run up to 100 feet over a single Cat. 5
cable. REVEAL HD-18 enables the adjustment of color, gain, pedestal,
gamma, chroma, knee and iris functions on the camera with the turn of
a knob. REVEAL HD-18 DVI/HDMI delivers simultaneous analog component
video (YPbPr) and digital video (DVI-D or HDMI) outputs on separate
connectors, ideal for multiple monitoring and large projection screens.
